Insights of MOD (extract)

Attitude towards Social Media is changing

Take distance with Social Media. Many only watch contents. Most of the posts on Instagram are “Stories” that can be made easily. Less “Feed” posts that can be seen by everybody. “Stories” are used to report live situations instead of Twitter.

Don’t watch TV

TV is only to watch recorded programs. No zapping. Some don’t have a TV at home.They kill the time by watching video on demand services.

Important brand contact = Second-hand stores/Stores/Shops

If the wanted item is expensive, they will look for “similar” designs to make purchases.Essence and styling is what they want. The purchases are realistic.

Genderless

Interested in women’s fashion. Wear the items without distinction.Read also women’s mode magazines. Get to know the trends by following women’s magazine accounts.
